Chapter 538: Consuming Astral Expansion Flower

Chapter 538: Consuming Astral Expansion Flower

On his way to the Yu Moon Pavilion, Xiang Shaoyun had already braced himself to face anything that might happen. One of the possibilities he had considered happening was the Ye Clan withdrawing after realizing he wasn't someone to be messed with. However, one possibility he had never imagined was that there would be someone as conceited as Ye Youfei present.

Ye Youfei might be decently strong and the Ye Clan rather powerful, but Xiang Shaoyun did not fear them. He now had nothing, and someone with nothing to lose had nothing to fear. He did not mind fighting the Ye Clan at all. Even if he wasn't a match, he could always flee!

"Big Brother Tang, let's leave. The dog is so loud it's deafening," said Xiang Shaoyun, completely ignoring Ye Youfei.

The only way to fight rudeness was with more rudeness. Ning Wenhuang and Yan Shengqiu had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be so haughty. They were impressed, but they were also afraid that the Ye Clan's anger would fall on them as well.

Without a doubt, Xiang Shaoyun's words had thoroughly angered Ye Youfei. Without saying anything else, he attacked. He knew that Xiang Shaoyun was a War Emperor, so he attacked with full power immediately, creating a tornado swirling around his hand. Just as his palm attack was about to strike, Xiang Shaoyun dodged to the side and sent him a kick.

Similarly, Xiang Shaoyun didn't hold back. No matter how fast Ye Youfei's reaction time was, he wasn't as fast as Xiang Shaoyun. After all, Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended the power of wind. Not only had his movement speed increased, his attacking speed had increased as well.

Because of that, Ye Youfei couldn't even do anything as the kick hit his thigh. He staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Xiang Shaoyun was about to press on, but Ye Youfei disregarded his pain and unleashed two palm attacks in a row.

The palm attacks were so fast Xiang Shaoyun could feel the air tear beside his face after he dodged to the side. From the short exchange, it was clear Ye Youfei was no pushover. He possessed combat prowess comparable to Tang Longfei’s. Xiang Shaoyun was prepared to use more of his strength and teach Ye Youfei a lesson when he suddenly sensed a massive power forcefully separating him and Ye Youfei.

"Young Master Fei, this is the Yu Moon Pavilion," an ethereal voice rang out from a corner.

A middle-aged man took one step, flickered, and appeared before Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Youfei. Xiang Shaoyun had seen this man before. He was the same person who had led the group of geniuses into the Yu Moon Pavilion when they were here attending Yu Caidie's test. This person was none other than the Yu Moon Pavilion's shopkeeper.

Ye Youfei's haughtiness dropped somewhat when he saw the middle-aged man. He said to Xiang Shaoyun, "Little bastard, you will suffer at the Dragon Phoenix Academy."

He then turned and reentered the ancient-looking building.

"Big Brother Tang, let's go," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Meanwhile, a praising look appeared in the shopkeeper's eyes as he looked at the departing Xiang Shaoyun.

...

After leaving the Yu Moon Pavilion, both Ning Wenhuang and Yan Shengyang heaved a breath of relief. They were afraid that they would get implicated if a fight did break out. With their strength, they did not necessarily fear Ye Youfei, but it wasn't wise to offend the Ye Clan for the sake of Xiang Shaoyun.

On the other hand, Tang Longfei had no misgivings whatsoever. After all, Bloodsin City was an extremely unique city. Although his father hadn't been its governor for long, he had still been a governor for quite some time. Furthermore, his power and influence was in an upward trend of growth. Thus, no organization could easily do something to him.

"That Ye Youfei is way too conceited. Shaoyun, you want me to get my father to deal with him?" asked Tang Longfei. This no longer concerned Xiang Shaoyun alone, as his prestige as the number one young master needed to be preserved.

"Big Brother Tang, this is a conflict between people of our generation. It's better to not bother the older generation for this. In any case, someone like that is not even worth our attention," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

That Ye Youfei was decent in terms of cultivation, but his conceited temperament displayed his shallowness, serving as his weakness. If he was someone capable of feigning friendliness before betraying his target like Huo Xudong, he would be a much scarier opponent.

Tang Longfei was no fool. He immediately understood what Xiang Shaoyun meant and laughed, "Your thoughts are penetrating. In any case, no clan can control the Dragon Phoenix Academy. If he dares to create trouble for me at the academy, I will beat him up so badly even his mom won't recognize him."

"Exactly," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

Next, they returned to the city hall on Tang Longfei's invitation of Tang Longfei, as Xiang Shaoyun felt it improper to reject. In a spacious guest room, Xiang Shaoyun took out an astral expansion flower and consumed it.

The astral expansion flower was an emperor medicine that had taken 3,000 years to form, and it was capable of expanding one's stars. A person's stars could have many sizes, with the size being the factor determining the amount of astral energy one could store. That was part of the determining factor of one's talent and the reason why talent was important in cultivation.

Xiang Shaoyun had a nine-star physique. Thus, he had outstanding talent. However, his stars weren't too big. Expanding their size would only give him benefits. Although the astral expansion flower was only an emperor medicine, it was extremely rare. Generally, one could only purchase it using contribution points at the fort above the Devil Domain.

The power of the astral expansion flower spread through his body. The dots of light littering his body were extremely brilliant. Slowly, they became one with the astral cosmos sea, creating an enigmatic and noble river of stars. The power slowly separated and went into the nine stars, nurturing and expanding them.

The stars were expanding, but when Xiang Shaoyun looked at them through inner gaze, they did not seem like they had changed much. The only obvious change was that his energy now circulated more quickly and he needed to accumulate more energy to advance.

It was quite a pity that the astral expansion flower's grade wasn't too high. With Xiang Shaoyun having nine stars, the flower was only able to expand the size of his stars by about one third.

It would be much better if he could increase the size of his stars by about 50 percent or even 100 percent. If this thought was known to outsiders, they would most likely beat him up in anger.

One's stars were fixed at birth and would only gradually expand as one grew in strength. To expand the size by even 10 percent without an accompanying growth of cultivation level was extremely hard. And yet Xiang Shaoyun dared to be unhappy even after an expansion of one third in size. He was like an ant dreaming of swallowing an elephant!

After fully digesting the power of the astral expansion flower, Xiang Shaoyun felt that the gap between him and the peak seventh-stage Skysoar Realm had widened considerably. His initial plan was to reach the peak of the seventh stage while on his way to the Dragon Phoenix Academy. But now, it seemed like he would need more time. That could in a way be considered an adverse effect of expanding his stars.

However, although the speed of his advancement slowed, it did not mean his strength would not grow. On the contrary, among those with the same cultivation level, the size of one's stars determined one's endurance and combat prowess in battle. Now that he was heading to the Dragon Phoenix Academy soon, he had to accumulate more resources so as to deal with the freaks coming from all over the dominion.

Of course, his current focus would be placed on Green Youth Ye Linshan of the Ye Clan. As for Ye Youfei, he was most likely a vanguard testing the waters for Ye Linshan. He was an ordinary chess piece that would not pose any threat whatsoever.
